So assuming, and that usually means trouble, the hunch that Rage is involved could we begin speculating what other characters might appear? Rage is pretty far down a list of priorities so far that to call him a D-lister might be putting it nicely.

Would Machine Man be an easy character to use? Androids have been on TV famously and easily done since, if nothing else, Data. He has been running around as a SHIELD Agent since the Registration Act. Currently seen in Red She Hulk monthly.

^ That's the part that is exciting. Even though this will be self-contained from the MCU...there is still a whole entire rest of the Marvel Universe they can explore and use if they so wish. Start developing lesser known characters, etc. Maybe even incorporate elements like "AKA Jessica Jones" or even their proposed "Cloak and Dagger" series. This just opens up the Marvel Universe a bit more. I'm really excited for this.

What makes it different from something like Alphas or Fringe is that they're not afraid to use the word "superhero." It will be nice if this show draws as heavily on Marvel lore as Arrow or later-seasons Smallville have drawn on DC lore. Hopefully we'll get some significant supervillains too.

The fact that, from that promo, it sounds like an X-Files, Millennium, Fringe, W13 or Alphas is proof enough that this concept works. It's just got an already established universe of material from which to draw. Things will be new to most but the easter eggs for the faithful will be fun to find.

I'm rooting for Moon Knight, Mockingbird, Justice, Machine Man, Jessica Jones, Misty Knight to name a few that should the show go a few seasons could be seen in some story manner. A few Halloween themed episodes with say Jack Russell the Werwolf by Night, N'Kantu the Living Mummy or Manphibian anyone? Do I dare think Man-Thing?
